Last night it was cuddles for Holly, in fact she went hunting Old Two Legs and insisted she got a cuddle on his seat with OTL and stayed there almost all evening. I think that she finally moved only because she was getting too hot!

At least there were no Whizz Bands but every time The Missus dropped anything up in her store room Holly thought it was a Whizz Bang and gave a little jump!

This morning we headed off to The Beach and spotted a rabbit on the path, so we gave chase!

Lucky rabbit, he got away!

Quick he's just around the corner!

Down on the beach the sun was playing around with the clouds, as normal and all OTL had to do was wait for a sun beam!

Morning sun!

Both ferrets were emptied out of the bag and Miss Snowflake did a lap around the beach, in reverse!

OTL said she was 'Moon Dancing'!

I was more interested in digging a new hole and when Holly asked what I was digging, I said that it was just a 'Hole Lotta Fun'!

A Hole Lotta Fun!

Miss Snowflake sneaked back into the bag but was getting a bit desperate 'cos she wanted a wee!

Are we off the beach yet?

Back home both ferrets had some fun chasing each other around the house and pretty soon they were both worn out!

So, it was back into Snowy Heights for a snooze and as OTL says, 'No One Sleeps Like a Ferret'

Sleeping as only a ferret can!

We left them to it and headed off to the sofa to snooze the morning away while OTL was working in the office.

About lunch time he had a delivery to make so off we went, leaving the ferrets still asleep!

We ended up in The Forest and just for a change, instead of walking around anti clockwise, as we normally do. OTL took us clockwise and you know, it was like walking through a new forest!

Of course we were squirrel hunting while OTL was Fungi Hunting!

A little fungi in the cracks in a tree trunk.

OTL was telling us that the Fungi is a way of getting the seeds spread about and the trees had their way of getting seeds spread about as well. We found a tree seed and a fungi and OTL took a picture!

More than one way to spread your seeds!

Holly and I had fun running through the leaves, that was until we ran into a muddy patch!

Three more steps and Squelch!

It was after that we kept off the main path and tried to keep to the tree trunks but there were times when we landed in the mud again!

Watch out for the muddy bits!

Back home we got a bit of a wash on our paws and OTL had to take his boots off before coming through the front door. If he hadn't, he would have been in deep poo!

So, tonight Holly says that she will need another cuddle, just to make sure there are no more Whizz Bangs and anyway, she like a cuddle with OTL!

About Me

Hello, my name is Daisy and I was taken away from
Mum and Dad by Old Two Legs and The Missus one cold dark evening. It was a bit
traumatic at the time but we all soon settled down and everything is OK now.

My sister Holly came to live with us about a year later and between the pair of us we manage to keep these Two Legs in line!

In December 2012, we were joined by Snowflake, a little ferret we found in our garden. She had her own home in OTL's office called Snowy Heights!

Then in July 2013 Mr Brambles, a super Sandy Hob Ferret, came to live with us and be a mate for Snowflake. We sadly lost Mr Brambles to old age in September 2015. A gentle ferret who will be missed terribly. We also lost Miss Snowflake in November 2015. She has left a big hole in our hearts, she was a real Daddy's Girl to the end.

There arrived two new ferrets in August 2015, Miss May and Miss April who are sisters, born in 2013, we think! They were full of fun and mischief and kept up the tradition of pinching our biscuits, just like Brambles did!

Sadly Miss April contracted Cardiomyopathy, which is a heart condition. She died in September 2016 and is resting in a flower pot in the garden with Snowflake and Brambles.

We were down to two ferrets and an empty cage but that didn't last long, a brother and sister ferrets needed a 'Forever Home' and Fred & Wilma moved in. They are about two and a half years old, so they were born 2012/2013. Fred is a gentle soul who loves cuddles with OTL and Wilma a bossy sister but loves OTL! We reckon them to be Polecat Coloured Ferrets.

It was a shock when Wilma was attacked by a dog and unfortunately died of shock a few hours later. Like Snowflake, Brambles and April, she is also sleeping in a flower pot in our garden.

Fred was not happy about being on his own and he was introduced to Wendy, a Polecat Coloured Ferret who found her way to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

Introductions went well to begin with but within a day or so she began instructing Fred on just who was really in charge!

We had something similar with Miss May who lost her sister to Cardiomyopathy (Weak Heart). Miss May is a feisty young lady and she was introduced to Eric de Ferret while we were down at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and although she tried to be a bit bossy, he was having none of it! He may only be six months old but her didn't back down and the pair came to an agreement!

So young Eric moved in and they both started to learn how to get on together!

OTL takes us walking every day and we have 'Adventures'! The Missus feeds us, so, what more can a pair of puppies and family of fun loving ferrets ask for?
